Photographer's Note

Lightning striking Sydney Harbor Bridge. Taken a few hours after this photo here in the days before going digital. It was my last roll of film (having used most earlier that day) and I was lucky enough to capture this with my penultimate shot.

A good quality image for a now almost 10 year old print! The lighting strike is very well taken, and I imaging much harder to capture without digital cameras. The patterns on the water are very good. I also like the inclusion of the Opera House in the distant Circular Quay. The strike seems as if it is hitting the pylon when in fact it is probably out over the ocean. A very dramatic and unusual image.

Very successful photo. Taken from good spot to include the whole bridge and Opera house as well. The lighting is bright and clearly visible. Long exposure made water surface look very smooth.
Well done !
